**Seeking an Investment Partner for $1.3M Marketing Company Acquisition** I’m currently looking to connect with a private investor or capital partner for an acquisition I’ve been working on and would like to get in front of the right people. This is not a search for a business to buy. I have already identified the company, have been in discussions with ownership and am actively working through the capital structure for the transaction. **The opportunity:** * **Purchase price:** Approximately $1.3M * **Industry:** Marketing / advertising * **Transaction:** Acquisition of an established operating business * **Seller financing:** Already discussed directly with ownership * **Proposed seller-financed structure:** Approximately **$270K down**, with the seller financing the remaining purchase price * **Capital need:** Primarily focused on funding the required equity/down payment and creating the right overall capital structure * **Status:** Active deal with direct access to ownership—not a hypothetical search or broker list I’m evaluating Because I’m under an NDA, I can’t publicly disclose the company name, client information, detailed financials or other identifying information. I can share considerably more with a serious prospective investor once confidentiality is in place. What makes this particularly interesting to me is the seller’s willingness to finance a significant portion of the acquisition. Rather than needing to capitalize the entire $1.3M purchase price externally, there is an opportunity to acquire the business with a substantially smaller amount of upfront capital while allowing the seller to retain meaningful financial participation in the transaction. I’m open to discussing different structures with the right investor. That could include an equity investment, preferred equity, private credit or another structure that makes sense based on the investor’s return requirements and desired level of involvement. I’m particularly interested in speaking with: * Private investors * High-net-worth individuals * Family offices * Search fund / ETA investors * Independent sponsors * Private credit investors * Business owners or operators who invest in lower-middle-market acquisitions I’m not looking for someone to simply send me a list of lenders. I’m looking for a **real capital partner who can evaluate an acquisition and move if the economics and structure make sense.** I’m an entrepreneur and acquisition-focused operator, and my goal is to structure transactions where there is a clear path to ownership, sensible leverage and alignment among the buyer, investor and seller. I’m also very comfortable with creative deal structures when they improve the economics for everyone involved. For the right investor, I can provide additional information on the company, historical performance, transaction structure, seller-financing terms, diligence completed to date and my plans for the business, subject to the appropriate confidentiality requirements. If you invest directly in established businesses—or know someone who specifically looks for opportunities like this—**please message me directly.** I’m happy to have an initial conversation first to determine fit before exchanging confidential information.
